![]() ![]() Chris continued his studies with the college by completing the year-long Marcus Aurelius School. He discovered The College of Stoic Philosophers later that year and enrolled in the Stoic Essential Studies course. Eventually, he came back to Stoicism to maintain his peace of mind in this chaotic environment.Įarly in 2011, Chris began to study Stoicism seriously. Chris began reading extensively in the areas of psychology, cognitive science, and evolutionary psychology to understand the frequently violent behavior he witnessed on the streets. However, when Chris returned to public service as a law enforcement, he was not fully prepared for the often brutal realities of human behavior in the tough neighborhoods he worked. The mental resilience fostered by those mental practices served Chris well while he served in the Marine Corps Presidential Helicopter Squadron, and during the nearly twenty years in large-scale computing as a hardware and software engineer. Chris was exposed to the military version of “stoicism” while serving in the U.S. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When voters asked about his beliefs, Lincoln liked to point them to his book. But it also reveals something about his heart and mind. Political Debates sold fifty thousand copies-the rough equivalent of half a million books in today’s market-and it reveals something about Lincoln’s presidential ambitions. Lincoln labored in secret to get his book ready for the 1860 election, tracking down newspaper transcripts, editing them carefully for fairness, and hunting for a printer who would meet his specifications. ![]() Yet few can name the work that helped him win the presidency: his published collection of speeches entitled Political Debates between Hon.

Leave of Grass also had a rather notorious publication, and it, too, captured the attention of the literary establishment – in the person of Ralph Waldo Emerson, America’s most influential thinker and writer of the day. The first edition of Whitman’s Leaves of Grass came out in 1855, precisely one hundred years before Ginsberg first read “Howl” in public. Whitman and Ginsberg shared so much in common. Truly, Allen Ginsberg was one of the great twentieth-century American poets, the literary heir to the nineteenth-century American bard Walt Whitman. Michael McClure, another poet who read that evening, said, “Ginsberg read on to the end of the poem, which left us standing in wonder, or cheering and wondering, but knowing at the deepest level that a barrier had been broken, that a human voice and body had been hurled against the harsh wall of America.”Ī few months later, in 1956, “Howl” was published along with other Ginsberg poems by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who ran City Lights Bookstore. After Ginsberg’s “howl” (his answer to Walt Whitman’s “barbaric yawp”), the literary world would never be the same again. On October 7, 1955, Allen Ginsberg made the literary world sit up and listen to his “Howl.” It premiered at the Six Gallery in San Francisco, with Ginsberg doing a reading of the long poem. ![]() ![]() This week on StoryWeb: Allen Ginsberg’s poem “Howl.” ![]() ![]() To get these ideas in your inbox every week, sign up for the Life in the 614 newsletter.

Baker observes, Julian also explains “God’s apparent withdrawal” from the world along maternal lines, “as a pedagogic strategy for teaching the faithful to seek and trust him.” We see this in the following passage:Īnd if we do not then feel ourselves eased, let us at once be sure that is behaving as a wise Mother. “The mother can give her child to suck of her milk,” she writes, “but our precious Mother Jesus can feed us with himself, and does, most courteously and most tenderly, with the blessed sacrament” of the Eucharist. Strikingly, she characterizes Christ as a mother, likening divine love to maternal love. ![]() Scholars have long acknowledged the uniqueness and significance of the so-called Short Text and Long Text that make up Julian’s single work, particularly at the theological level. ![]() ![]() For years, January was as molten glass in Locke’s hands, to be spun into the (dutiful, docile, " un-temerarious") shape he liked. January Scaller grew up uneasily lodged with the immensely wealthy Cornelius Locke, her childhood a half-painted picture without her father in it while he disappeared for days, months, to buy off with Locke’s gold coins marvels and oddities from all around the world. But that isn’t the true beginning of the story. The rush of turning a page and a story beginning. ![]() The Ten Thousand Doors of January starts, as great tales often do, with a book. When one enters a door, one must be brave enough to see the other side. Even the morning’s clarity couldn’t snatch that away. ![]() The sensible part of me informed me, patiently, that none of it had any more bearing on real life than a dream, yet in the surreal fuzziness of the night, I felt-on a bone-deep, irrational level-the possibility that I might turn a key, open a door and unlock the mysteries of the world. ![]() It seemed hardly credible when I finished reading that I couldn’t follow the words back to a world where this wasn’t mere fiction. The Ten Thousand Doors of January is almost less a novel than an experience: never have I felt more like I was part of things, moved by the same current, like my soul had disconnected from my body and drifted among fictional souls in a mist somewhere between fantasy and reality. ![]() I felt that to speak of this book would be to contain what it did to me, to diminish it somehow. ![]() ![]() ![]() Laine, Tiffany Reisz, Tijan, Vanessa Fewings, Vi Keeland & many more.
